Album Notes

Edmund\'s Crown is a Nashville power trio featuring guitarist/singer Greg Pope, drummer David Sprouse, and bassist John Putnam. Their music has been featured on radio and network television shows including NBC\'s Providence, WB\'s Dawson\'s Creek, MTV\'s WFF Tough Enough, and America\'s Next Top Model. The band\'s sound combines three-minute song forms loaded with surprising twists and billboard-sized choruses that rise from beds of distortion and a seat-kicking rhythm section. Rooted in character-driven rock influences like The Who, The Police, and Big Star the originality of Edmund\'s Crown shines through via vulnerably ambitious lyrics and a healthy disregard for pop predictability.

The group was formed in 1999 when Pope began rehearsing with musical acquaintance and fellow southeastern rock veteran David Sprouse. Along with bassist Jeremy Richards they released a 7-song debut, EDMUND\'S CROWN: EP, in February 2000, and spent the next year performing regionally to support it. The next year, the group released their first full-length effort, EDMUND\'S CROWN, which was hailed by critics and fans alike. In January 2003 the group released EDMUND\'S CROWN: COLLECTED, which features select tracks and unreleased recordings from their first two projects (now out of print) as well as two new songs. Bassist John Putnam joined up after Richards left the group in 2004.
